Comment (by antoniou79):

 They did. It's in the source file
 "engines/director/castmember/digitalvideo.cpp" in the zip file I mentioned
 above. It's the only file in that folder that has a date of 15/02/2026 :)

 (There's also a mention in one of the review comments, from a reviewer who
 got the game for free, and I suspect earlier than release, about a "day
 one patch").

 I bought the game off steam yesterday. I haven't found any other changes
 to the sources, but I haven't really checked thoroughly.

 I think it's good that they included the fix, but like I've written, I
 don't think this is the ideal approach technically for the engine code. It
 may work for the specific game's purposes here, but a more elegant and
 informed fix is required (which is why I haven't opened any PR for the fix
 to the ScummVM repository).

 Also, yes, it's expected that publishers who use ScummVM to launch their
 games will use a build that only supports that specific engine.
